DAHLIAS, Exhibition Prize-Winners 
We offer you the choicest of all exhibition varieties, Dahlias without a fault, perfect in shape, unparalleled in 
size—every one with long, rigid stems and healthy, vigorous growers with luxuriant foliage. Stems 3 to 4 feet high 
are the average; 5 to 7-foot ones are not uncommon. This is a collection that will make you a Dahlia fan. We offer 
both dormant roots and green plants. In ordering, please specify which is wanted. Roots can be sent from March 
to May; green plants from April 15 to June 15. If you wish to exhibit at the fall Dahlia shows, we recommend 
the green plants to be set out during June. Allow three to four leaders per plant.
